Temperature-dependent power flow can report top-oil and hot-spot temperatures for in-service two- and three-winding transformers, including steady-state and time-series calculations. These results do not change power-flow results.
Contingency results can include transformer temperatures when available.
Cooling type and ambient temperature can be specified, defaulting to ONAN and 35 °C. Transformer temperature calculations require the optional thermal-model package; if it is unavailable, a warning is issued and transformer temperatures are skipped.
Documentation
Added guidance and a tutorial covering setup, transformer temperature calculations, and results.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
This change adds optional top-oil and hot-spot temperature calculations for in-service two- and three-winding transformers during TDPF. It adds transformer inputs, power-flow and time-series integration, contingency result collection, tests, and documentation.
Adds cooling-type and air-temperature fields with defaults and validation for in-service transformers. Adds the optional tdpf dependency extra and documents the input fields.

e2nIEE/pandapower#3134: The PR adds transformer temperature calculations. Switchgear temperature calculations requested by the issue are not included.
Suggested reviewers:vogt31337, ks-htk
Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 4c492
Transformer temperatures are calculated after the power flow and do not change power-flow results. However, in several reachable configurations they are not collected, or a temperature-limit check is skipped. A direct tdpf=True keyword on contingency runs, a top-level tdpf option combined with a nested pf_options mapping, and mixed TDPF settings across N-0 and N-1 can each lose or ignore temperature results. These should be fixed before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 4c492
The reviewed changes do not establish a new attack path or access-control bypass. They do add third-party code running with application permissions and temperature state carried between calculations. Dependency behavior and interrupted-state handling remain partially assessed.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The established execution scope is the hosting Python process and its contingency workers, including all participating transformers in the supplied network. Installed dependency code inherits those processes' permissions. Deployment privileges, tenant isolation, and access to external assets were not supplied, so broader exposure remains undetermined.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The reviewed adapter converts caller-owned transformer data and solved currents into fixed-shape numeric profiles, invokes the installed library, and writes temperatures back to the same network. Positive-rating checks, cooling-type restrictions, and expected-error handling constrain numerical inputs; they are not authorization or sandbox controls.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Sequential contingency paths restore the outaged element in finally blocks, including when evaluation raises. Parallel workers modify a copied element table and return explicit success or failure. These existing containment mechanisms remain in place around the new thermal calculations.

Explanation
The title "implement transformer thermal model" matches the main change. The PR adds an optional transformer-thermal-model integration that calculates top-oil and hot-spot temperatures for two- and three-winding transformers during TDPF power flow. The title is specific and concise, and it names the primary feature. It does not list every detail, which is acceptable.

Reduce the transformer check’s cognitive complexity.
The supplied SonarCloud check fails on _check_tdpf_trafo_parameters: it reports complexity 16 against an allowed 15. Extract the per-table normalization or validation step so the reported check passes without changing the defaults.
Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Run the missing-package test without the optional package.
If transformer_thermal_model is absent, this module-level skip also skips test_no_columns_when_library_missing. That is the environment where the fallback matters most. Move the fallback test to a module without this import skip; keep the library-dependent tests conditional. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comments at @pandapower/auxiliary.py:
- Around line 1540-1543: Update the line-column validation around
required_columns and tdpf_lines to run only when TDPF lines are selected, so
unselected ordinary lines do not trigger missing thermal-column warnings. When
net.line lacks tdpf, initialize it to False and treat the selection as empty so
downstream branch conversion and transformer validation can proceed.
Review comments at @pandapower/contingency/contingency_parallel.py:
- Around line 108-110: Update the result-variable selection around
result_variables so transformer temperature is included before workers are
dispatched when the requested TDPF configuration will produce it, even if the
input network has no prior temperature result column. Alternatively, establish
the result columns with a base solve before dispatch; preserve the existing
column-based selection for other variables.
Review comments at @pandapower/contingency/contingency.py:
- Around line 168-170: Update the result-variable selection in run_contingency
so transformer temperatures are included on a fresh network when the requested
TDPF capability supports them, rather than relying only on an existing result
table column. Alternatively, ensure a base solve creates that column before
finalizing result_variables, so _update_contingency_results can collect
temperature extrema from later contingency solves.
Review comments at @pandapower/network_schema/trafo.py:
- Line 285: Update the TDPF schema metadata for cooling_type and
air_temperature_degree_celsius so columns with defaults remain optional during
validate_network group validation; apply the same change to the corresponding
trafo3w fields. Preserve the defaults supplied by runpp(tdpf=True) when those
columns are absent.
Review comments at @pandapower/pf/transformer_thermal.py:
- Around line 182-184: Update _ensure_columns and the per-step processing used
by _calculate_trafo and _calculate_trafo3w to reset existing thermal result
columns to NaN before processing each step, not only initialize missing columns.
Write temperatures only for rows whose calculation succeeds, so skipped rows
cannot retain values from a prior step.
Review comments at @pandapower/timeseries/run_time_series.py:
- Line 181: Update the voltage-only recycling condition near the transformer
thermal-variable check so it disables that path whenever TDPF is enabled,
regardless of which variables the output writer logs. Preserve the existing
thermal-variable handling for non-TDPF runs.
- Around line 184-186: Update the default runpp path in run_timeseries so
transformer temperature calculations receive the preceding time step’s top-oil
temperature. Reuse one tracker across the time-series run and advance it exactly
once after each completed time step; do not rely on the TimeSeriesRunpp tracker,
which this default path does not use. Preserve the per-step result-read behavior
selected by the recycle settings.
Review comments at @tutorials/temperature_dependent_power_flow_trafo.ipynb:
- Around line 20-21: Update the notebook’s installation command to include the
`plotting` extra alongside `tdpf`, or clearly state that readers must install
matplotlib separately, so the setup covers the `matplotlib.pyplot` import and
later `.plot()` calls.

Keep winding thermal state across tracker steps.
TransformerThermalTracker carries only the top-oil temperature. Each later step starts a new library run with InitialTopOilTemp. In transformer-thermal-model 0.6.0, that initial state sets the hot-spot and winding increases to zero. The hot spot for each step therefore restarts from the top-oil value. Repeated short steps at constant load can report a hot-spot temperature that stays below the continuous-model value.
The tracker docstring states that chaining the thermal state makes a time series physically meaningful. The hot-spot results do not meet that goal, because the winding state is discarded between steps.
The library's initial states accept only a top-oil temperature, so this cannot be corrected by passing one more value. Possible approaches include running the library over the accumulated load history instead of a two-sample profile, or changing the library to accept a winding state. Choose one approach and check the two-winding readout before changing the tracker.

Make the unavailable-library tests disable the calculation too.
These patches disable temperature collection in the contingency modules. They do not disable the availability flag read by calculate_transformer_temperatures, so an installed thermal model can still run during both tests. Patch that module’s flag as well if these tests are meant to verify the power-flow fallback without the optional library. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comments at @pandapower/contingency/contingency_parallel.py:
- Line 105: Update the result_variables selection around tdpf_requested to
include the effective forwarded tdpf keyword before dispatch, so worker results
and the aggregated result retain calculated transformer temperatures when
tdpf=True.
- Around line 209-212: Update the missing-column handling in the contingency
results flow so an absent N-0 temperature does not silently suppress the N-1
temperature-limit check in check_elements_within_limits. Establish the supported
behavior: represent the missing base result so the available N-1 maximum is
validated, or explicitly reject mixed TDPF settings; preserve the existing
handling of unrelated missing result columns.
Review comments at @pandapower/contingency/contingency.py:
- Line 158: Update the result-variable selection in the `tdpf_requested` logic
to include the effective `tdpf` keyword forwarded to both power-flow solves, so
transformer temperatures are collected when `run_contingency` is called with
`tdpf=True` on a fresh network.
- Around line 430-432: Update the temperature-limit gate in
check_elements_within_limits so the N-1 max_temperature_degree_celsius check
runs whenever that limit is configured, independently of whether
temperature_degree_celsius is present. Keep the base-temperature comparison
conditional on that column being available, and preserve the skip in
_update_contingency_results for absent result-table columns.
Review comments at @pandapower/timeseries/run_time_series.py:
- Around line 196-199: Update the TDPF detection logic around `user_options` so
it checks `tdpf` in both the top-level `user_pf_options` mapping and its nested
`pf_options` mapping without discarding either value; preserve the `kwargs`
override. Add a test for top-level `tdpf=True` alongside nested
`pf_options={"init": "flat"}` and verify TDPF is detected.
- Around line 148-150: Update _advance_transformer_thermal_tracker so it
advances only when both power flow and controller convergence succeed; use
ctrl_converged alongside pf_converged so controller-failed steps do not change
the thermal state.
